THE LIE OF FINE What Nobody Will Say About What's Really Happening Right Now

You know the feeling. Someone asks how you're doing and you say "great" — not because it's true, but because that's what the moment calls for. You write the updates, show up to the meetings, wear the face. And somewhere underneath all of it, a quiet voice keeps asking a question you don't let yourself finish.

This episode is for that voice.

Lisa Carter-Bawa — behavioral scientist and host of Soul to Soul — is naming what's running underneath almost every professional right now. Not burnout. Not quiet quitting. Something quieter and harder to name than either of those. The moment when you realize you've been performing fine for so long, you've lost track of what fine actually feels like.

This is not an episode about resilience tips or morning routines. It's an honest conversation about the cost of the professional mask, the question nobody says out loud, and what actually happens when one person in the room stops pretending.

If you've ever looked at the life you worked so hard to build and thought — wait, is this it? — this one is for you.
